anyone? Buzzard is a synonym for 2-over par or a double-bogey on a hole. Betty Hicks defined the term in a 1949 manual for golf professionals. In a 1927 book, Bobby Jones and O.B. Keeler wrote “Old Man Par is a patient soul, who never shoots a birdie and never incurs a buzzard.” So take your best shot on this hole, but beware The Buzzard circling above, ready to scavenge those who venture too far over par.
